## Summary

The Post Office Limited has initiated a tender for the SPMP Horizon Replacement project, aiming to replace its existing EPOS system with a new system called "New Branch IT" as part of the Strategic Platform Modernisation Programme (SPMP). The procurement seeks to engage third-party partners to create the necessary solution through mini-competitions within small panels of providers. The contract period is set to start on August 15, 2024, and end on August 14, 2028, with the tender period closing on May 8, 2024.

This selective procurement opportunity for procurement software development services offers a chance for suitable partners to collaborate with Post Office Limited in enhancing its IT infrastructure. Businesses specializing in software support, financial analysis and accounting software development, information technology services, and billing systems are well-suited to compete and potentially secure work packages within the project's small provider panels.

## Notice

Participation is subject to interested parties signing an NDA. Please email procurement@postoffice.co.uk to confirm your interest and receive the NDA for your signature. On signature you will be granted access to the Selection Questionnaire and draft Procurement Documents. Post Office is in the process of replacing its existing EPOS system, known as Horizon. Post Office is building the new system, "New Branch IT" ("NBIT") in house as part of its Strategic Platform Modernisation Programme ("SPMP"). Whilst Post Office is responsible for overall programme management, strategy and architecture it has a requirement to engage with third parties to help create the necessary solution. This procurement therefore is designed to identify and appoint suitable partners to a small panel of providers of such services. Work will be let via mini-competitions within the panels on either a T&M or fixed price dependent on the nature of the work packages.
